Barrdo - Équivoques vol. 2 (2022)

The fifth album from this band from Canada.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.

The band had help from some guests who provided oud, choir, backing vocals, strings, piano, moog and synths.

This is the second album in the Équivoques released last year. 

Listening to this album, it becomes pretty obvious why we get two albums instead of one sixty-five minutes long album. # 1 and # 2 offers up two different types of their take on progressive rock.

The music on # 2, the one I am reviewing now, is pretty dark and hard. 

It is subtantial more based on rhythms too. The likes of Red Hot Chilly Peppers anno their Californication album and title track springs to mind here as a good reference.

This is still a Barrdo album and this band is unique in their music. Hence, we still get some Harmonium and Ange references too.

The vocals is good and ditto for the music. This is their most challenging and dissonant album so far. It is still a good album. Check it out.
